So, after getting a faulty sender from auto meter. i ordered a new one from JEGS, when i was putting the new one into the truck last night it was screwing in very easily then all of a sudden the sender sheared. I was shocked it sheared it wasn't even tight yet. So now i have half a trans temp sender in my transmission. has this happened to anyone? I think im going to take it to a shop to get it out i don't want to risk anything.

Did it need to be shimmed? Some transmissions will not allow the sender to go in all the way, and you have to shim them with washers so it doesn't bottom out. My guess is that your sender bottomed out, causing it to shear off. Get an "easy-out" set and remove it yourself.
